Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Leitner is a Data Acquisition Engineer with nine years of experience applying Python, APIs, web scraping, and BI tools to turn messy infrastructure and transportation data into actionable dashboards and automated reports. Currently at Bloomberg after roles at MITRE, he blends systems engineering rigor with practical data engineering—building ingests, interfacing with databases, and shipping repeatable pipelines. His background in mechanical engineering and teaching physics informs a methodical, measurement-driven approach to problem solving, and he brings a playful developer culture sensibility from game-dev and “vibe coding” projects. Based in the New York City area, he thrives at the intersection of public works data and production-grade analytics, often surfacing operational insights that aren’t obvious from raw telemetry alone.
